IBM Acquires Daeja Image Systems

IBM recently completed the acquisition of Daeja Image Systems Ltd., a provider of software that makes it easier for business and IT professionals to view large documents and images.

Image Systems develops in-browser Java applet image viewer ViewONE and its new Module-On-Demand ‘bigger brother’ ViewONE Pro. ViewONE helps organizations of all sizes to work on scanned documents and other image files, even when users are spread across the remotest of locations. Our viewers can help to improve productivity, all at a fraction of the cost (and without the administrative burden) of other professional imaging products.

Tried and trusted across a broad range of commercial sectors by some of the largest global organizations, ViewONE and ViewONE Pro are sold both direct to customers and through a global network of partners; a list which includes some of the largest Enterprise Content Management (ECM) vendors in the world.

"IBM is continuing to lead the way in helping organizations access the content they rely upon for everyday operations," said IBM Enterprise Content Management Business Leader Doug Hunt. "The acquisition of Daeja will simplify how business data is viewed by department or line-of-business users."

"As a longtime business partner, Daeja has integrated its solutions with IBM solutions for more than a decade," said Stu Moss, CEO at Daeja. "With our combined strengths, we can help clients manage their data challenges and directly enhance IBM's key market initiatives for big data, mobile, and content management."

Recently, IBM sold off its BPO services business to Concentrix, a wholly owned subsidiary of Synnex. According to the NASDAQ website, the $505 million transaction will be paid to IBM in $430 million in cash and $75 million in stock. NASDAQ’s website added that IBM’s decision to make the sale was motivated by their long-term strategy to “shift its focus to verticals in which it can garner higher margins,” which has also led to the sale of such business as PCs, hard drives, and retail storage solutions.
